Voting takes much thought and serious consideration. But when you go to vote, you don’t need to hear the poll workers’ constant chit-chat. It is a difficult for some to focus while this is going on, especially when you are reading the amendments to be voted on.

I think poll workers need to respect the voters and be silent. They can chit-chat when everyone is gone. If this is a hardship for them, then they should forego working at a polling place. Whoever is in charge of this, please discuss this with them. It makes me not want to vote if I can’t focus on the ballot.
